Thankyou SO terribly much for your advice, it is greatly appreciated! I understand that you must be extremely busy with your emails.
I will start implementing your advice immediately. Everything you've said makes so much sense! Tiiki has her own 'cat tree' that I spray with Catnip that she just adores being on top of. Infact, she spends most of her day up there! I'm so terribly glad that some of her behaviour is just part of the process and that she will calm down. Karnie was such a quiet kitten, all cuddles, kisses and naps, so Tiiki was a little bit of a shock. I guess that Karnies' kitten behaviour was unusual and not Tiikis'. I can now research this 'teenager cat' syndrome to see if I can best help Tiiki rather than yelling with frustration. No doubt she will pick up on my calmer energy and in turn calm down herself.
As for Karnies' 'private time', she has been trying to tell me this since Tiiki arrived, I just wasn't listening. Often she will run away from Tiiki to find comfort and solace in my arms, only to find Tiiki is two steps behind her. I spend at least 1 hour in the office (funny that you should pick the particular room!!) every day. I'll make sure that I bring Karnie along for a cuddle!
Once again Morgan.......THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU!!! You truly are an angel & the world needs more souls like you!
